Spectacular aromas of dark fruits such as cherries with undertones of peaches and orange peel and some floral character, too. Full body, layered and rich. Lightly chewy tannins. Incredibly long and flavorful. Makes you want to drink it now but it will age beautifully. James Suckling

Drank 12/31/20 Happy New Year! Scents of dried cherry, leather, tobacco leaf, and cedar Incredible balance with sweet cherry, earth, and a touch leather. Long finish dominated by cherry and drying tannins. 4/22/9/5/4 +50=94 pts. JS went 98 on this one. A fantastic wine, bit cant quite get there.

The first ‘13 Brunello i’ve tried. I was drinking ‘11s the other night and this is a pretty stark contrast. Big and fruit forward, rich and savory. Plum, blackberry, and earth. Clocking at 14.5%

Bright fruit at opening, cherry some graphite. As it decanted smoothed out with dark cherry, vanilla and tobacco notes. Really enjoyed the way this wine changed as decanted.

An excellent Brunello with excellent balance notes of dark cherry and leather. Opened a magnum- could have let this age for several more years in the bottle and it would have been better.
